iDubbbz and his wife Anisa Jomha faced a shocking $500,000 deficit just one month before their Creator Clash 2 boxing event took place. This massive financial hole appeared before they even shelled out for an extravagant gala that likely cost another six figures.
The “charity” boxing event, which featured various content creators stepping into the ring, was meant to generate substantial proceeds for nonprofit organizations. Instead, organizers found themselves drowning in production costs that far exceeded their revenue streams.
Despite the alarming deficit, iDubbbz and Anisa pushed forward with an elaborate gala that drew criticism for being an unnecessary expense. Critics pointed out that the gala seemed more focused on networking with friends and social circles than supporting the event’s charitable mission. Even more concerning—no fundraising reportedly took place during this costly celebration.
The money problems seem to have come from overly optimistic projections. Organizers spent money assuming Creator Clash 2 would generate millions through ticket sales and pay-per-view purchases. When those numbers fell short, the deficit snowballed.
To avoid complete financial disaster, iDubbbz and Anisa reportedly had to pay between $200,000-$250,000 out of their own pockets. This personal contribution likely allowed the event to barely break even, raising questions about how much money—if any—actually reached the intended charities.
The first Creator Clash in 2022 had successfully merged online personalities with amateur boxing, creating a template that the sequel hoped to build upon. However, the sequel faced the harsh reality that influencer boxing events come with enormous expenses—venue rental, production costs, staff, insurance, and travel arrangements for participants.
Many fighters like Harley Morenstein joined the event believing their participation would directly benefit charitable causes. The revelation of significant financial troubles has created tension within the creator community and may impact iDubbbz’s standing among his peers.
